AP Gloomy about 5.6% Economic Growth

I was about to attempt a deconstruction of the AP release on the economy growing at 5.6%, since the nitwittery therein exceeds even the average empty-headed crackbrainery of MSM economic naysayers. But then I linked to Texasrainmaker who had already pointed out the hilarious absurdities these leftie agitproppies had inserted into a straight news article.

I'm sure this Paul Krugman wannabe named Jeannine Aversa has adverse opinions on the U.S. economy that are as wrongheaded as the former Enron Advisor Princeton perfesser himself. What does it take to be an "AP economics writer" besides built-in defenses against reality?
